River Dance Stay
★★★★★
“Thank you to Emma for letting us stay in beautiful River Dance, we had a wonderful few days there. A much needed break for us. The cottage was very clean & had everything you could need, beautifully decorated & lots of really lovely touches throughout the cottage. Attention to detail & a very homely feel. You look over the Aysgarth falls, such a beautiful location. Dog walks from the cottage, which our boy Ted thoroughly enjoyed. … We had snow the first night, but we were toastie & warm in the cottage. The next day everywhere looked so pretty & the falls were frozen, stunning. … We will definitely be back.”
